Mr. Widyery spoke with much passion and warmth m liivor oi’ the embargo and war.

Ii so, did tie not go , England during the embargo? if so, how did he g! , , Mr. widgery answered tiiat he went by water. Tie Speaker said, these questions were e.ot in order, Mr. S'ewi.rt said if they were not ,n order he would sit down. M *. Mdnor said, that of however trilling a nature oilier gentlemen migli deem th sub ject under discussion, he must still be allow ed to consider it the mosi interesting i:i its i„ me, and tie most important m ns con sequences, of any that liad occupied the at tention of the house during this long s< s/m; that in many instance's, a much more full eon sal erat ion than it had yet received, had been ven to subjects comparatively of far inferior innortanee ; and if the ordinary limits of one and. s sitting were not sufficient for the pur p se; it liad hetsi usual to adjom the discus n o er, from duV to day, until it was corn pleated. Mr. M inor sa.il, he could not see why ‘his measure, the declared precursor of almost immediate war,and therefore involving considerations of awful mcmcnt to tlie whole community, should be t.eaUd in a dilferent way. If gentlemen were not disposed to yield to the suggestions of his frauds who had adv* C ited a postponement for a few weeks, or for a fi:W days, lie trusted they would not now object, considering the late ness of hour, to pm. pone the suhj ct for one and. V; Tl.ev would not, Mr M. hoped,compel the house to continue m session; and finally act upon it with bodies and minds too inucii exhausted for the exercise of that sort cf a tenti m which it mer.ted. He .aid he abhorred concealment, and th*nfore would frankly aver, tiiat as tlie comnuttec of foreign relations liad made known the,fi intention to submit tins propo s t ion, and as lie hud no doubt that many per sons whose ships and cargoes were nearly i\ udy fur foreign voyages, iv Gold a\ ail tnem x, Ives of tie information, one object of his feeling anxious for some and. lay was, tiiat they night eff ct Ih* r wishes before this perni cious measure shoind be c irri, and into efieci. But independi nt of th is considt ration, cer tainly a frill opportunity of discussion could not be afforded to members if a vote were taken this night: and without bearing any re flection on gentlemen, Mr. M.'thought they would be belter capacitated us er the repose of an adjourmnt nt for a cool and deliberate decision. To be sure, he said, they had ap peared to find some relief from thur fatigue in the, fun and merriment in which the lion. entkman from N vv-Yirk had deemed this a fit occasion to indulge—i wish, said Mr. M. tin- constituents of that learned gent.emar, and other of his fellow-citizens, whose ruin will follow tiiat adoption of the measures which lie advocates, had o< copied the gal hr ex of this house during the di livery of this amusing speech, tiiat we might have seen whether, with all their respect for his learning and talents, they could have joined hi ehc merriment exeit. and b> Uio lion a--..‘ man’s sneers at the scriousm ss, which, at fectc-d, on this occasion, minds differently or ganized from his own-—whether tin y would have joined in th boisterous laugh, and clap pmgof hands in wliieli the geml.-raen h. and dee tin and it consistent with their own charac e. and the cliaracter of tins house, so vehe merr iy to indulge. Mr. M.. dded, for my own part, Mr: Speak er, 1 was shocked at the want of feeling and dignity manifested ,n the speech I have re ferred to, ..nd feel degraded and mortified that we are to be 1- and like a troop of Baei h. - lals, piping and dancing, to the funeral of the pe. ee and .mppiness of our country. Mr. Archer inqu.recl of the Speaker; wiiet’ner, ii’ he gentlem. n from Pennsylvania .n ended tocose his observations with a mere .djoarmmiii, it was in order to him to pro eeed. The Speaker said that he thought it was lot—ih..t the rules of the house must o perate equally to exclude debale on the part of the mover of such a proposition, us upon other members of the house. Mr. M t|ior said he l.ad no intention to vio -1 t. uny rule of ihe house, and yielded with |ileastir to the opinion of tlie cluur, he there ..ire moved to adjourn. Motion !os‘.

Price of superfine Flour, TTs. per 310 Ilis. l.n.nmx jlyd Paris. Ts cannot he denied that these two cities and their inhabitants, have man ners, taste, and turn of mind quite op posite. In France, they raise houses; in England, they dig them up. An Englishman does not believe he is conveniently lodged, when he has not a whole story under ground. This under ground story contains not only remarkably well ordered, clean and elegant kitchens, hut well furnished apartment! for chambermaids, chief cooks, &e. In warm countries, they may raise up pillars, they only want a roof. In cold countries, good thiel; v, al!s, (hat can preserve them from the in cl-mencies of the weather. In more northern e nmtries, walls are ius-.iffi eient—people have to inhabit under ground. What is fine in Paris, is ugly in London ; and what is fine in London is ugly in Paris, You ninst come to Paris to si'e fine Houses; and to Lon don to see fine Streets. Out of two Englishmen that arrive at Paris, one commonly admires its magnificence, the other its ugliness. Two French men going to London may receive the like impressions. London is the city of a sad, clean and reasonable people. Baris, the city of a heedless, elegant people. In Paris they love all that is fine : they set too high a value upon life, only to employ it in useful and convenient pursuits—An Englishman endeavors above all things to put him self in good circumstances,hut with an aukwnrdness peculiar to himself, lie takes so much pains, that, provided lie has gained his object, he is too weak to go beyond it. it t. iio< inure rhun forty years that the city of London lias hero jimed, or at least, it was so badly paved be fore, that it was difficult to walk in it. They could not ride in carriages with less difficulty, on account ofthe jolting. Pavements were not invented in London through luxury, hut through necessity. On tlie contrary, Paris has been this long time well paved, and fir tli’s very reason they have not thot’ o p. v ments. i he people of Paris get up, at least, an hour sooner than those of London. In London, in wintertime, thesliops are scarcely open at 9 o’clock in the morning, it is a fact, worth being remarked, that the several tradesmen, and all the people of the lower class are much more respectable in London than in Paris. In Paris, a servant will speak to his master w ithuut being asked to speak ; the same in London, would be looked upon as insulting. They may compute handsome w omen in London in the following manner; out often common,one is pretty enough; out of ten, pretty enough; one is pretty ; out of ten pretty, one is hand some:—beauty there, is in proportion of one thousand to one. lti France, pretty w omen are, perhaps, in as great a number as in England; but the hand some ones ore much more scarce. It is true to say, that, ’ what is fine in France, is much more so, than in any country in the w orld. The outskirts of the cities are ns different Jn the interior. You are no so; net- out of Paris, than you meet with beautiful mails bordered with trees. In England, plantations of trees are only seen about the country seats of the inhabitants ; the roads are uar row and naked. The northern part of London, by Ilamstend, has a striking resemblance with Crimea or Tartaria; there arc seen numberless meadows stretching out in Hcribrdshire: hills, valleys, mountains, are covered with meadows : the meadows with trees, are separated here and there by some little hedges. On these meadows, close by the city, there is a nightiy guard of four or five thousand cows, in five or six separate camps. The noise of coach es, the bellow ing of flocks, the labours of rural and pastoral life, the show oi luxury, and the opulence of the city— no—no other country presents so cu rious and strange an assemblage.

The marine acknowledged, [of which there was abundant other evi dence to the same point] that he was strictly ordered not to tile at the huil of the vessel, and said he could ac count for the unhappy accident only from the rolling of the Gun-Boat in . heavy sea, the powder hanging fire and the agitation of Ids 1; aids, [which >i*‘ says always tremble whenever he at tempts to fire.] There was also evi dence that the brig headed easterly, as if intending to go out of the New Inlet before the first fire, though she waa not then under full way j after the Ksst fire, she headed as if bound up the fi - ver; after tlie second fire, she clew‘*;l up her main-top-sail and liorc down IVr the gun-boat; after the third fire, she hove to, and the gun-boat’s cumins’ within hail of Iter, she dropped anchor.
